Hi! I am absolutely stumped. I have a banner that has an image with our logo, and then below it a .swf video. The file with the header only (header.asp) shows up just fine, the video plays, it's all spiffy and fanstastic.

Now, for the main page (home.asp) I am using

<!-- #include file="includes/header.asp" -->

to call up that header page. Now, the flash video, it doesn't show up! It's not there, not even as a blank broken link. All that's there is the banner image with the logo, but the video is MIA. When I view the page source, the code for the video is there. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Any ideas? Why would it work in the header.asp file, but not show up when that page is called in another page? I'm using Dreamweaver BTW and the video plays in the header.asp file in dreamweaver, but actually doesn't play on the home page in dreamweaver, although at least in dreamweaver, there is a flash box that shows up!

Any help you can give would be much appreciated!

this may be a dumb question, but are you calling the swf from the correct folder? If you have the include in a different folder different then your home.asp, and it plays in one, but not the other... sounds like a relative path error.

Actually, it's fixed now, but it wasn't a file pathing problem. It was a javascript problem. I'm still not sure exactly why though. I commented out the javascript that Dreamweaver produced, leaving only the "embed" code below it, and it works now. It was so weird! I don't think Dreamweaver likes .asp :D

Thanks for trying to help! :)
